Food Rules

Simple, sensible, and surprisingly entertaining, this compact guide from the James Beard Award–winning author of The Omnivore's Dilemma expands on his mantra "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." to offer a set of memorable rules for eating wisely—many of which are drawn from a variety of ethnic or cultural traditions. Whether at the supermarket or an all-you-can-eat-buffet, Michael Pollan's compendium of food wisdom can help you to be more mindful of the food you eat.
